What is the best way to mail a double-layer German Chocolate Cake (from Texas to Seattle)?

Some craft type stores sell cake ';mailers';! I haven't needed one in years but have used them to ship cakes. You will also want lot's of fragile and this end up stickers%26lt;g%26gt; and FedEx ruined fewer of my mailings than the other two guys (the guilty shall remained unnamed) but it's never a sure thing!





Make sure the cake is bagged (not just plastic wrapped) and use swizzle sticks to keep the bag off the frosting. Use marshmallows to fill the empty spaces in the box (they work better than foam peanuts). Lastly cross your fingers and hope for the best!

Boy, they use special packaging for the boxed cakes in the grocery refrigerated section. I mean the floor has the cake just glued to it and then a styrofoam ring large enough to circle the cake. The styrofoam is just high enough so the cake doesn't fall if the box is upside down or on its side.





You might try square layers with the icing separate in a zip lock.





IMHO, you'd be better off doing cupcakes, gotta air freight because of the egg in that wonderful coconut icing.





Sweet regards, in Germany we don't know that wonderful cake. It comes from a Dallas newspaper advertisement with a recipe because of a chocolate seller with the last name ';German';. Ship me one, but I want it triple layered.What is the best way to mail a double-layer German Chocolate Cake (from Texas to Seattle)?
Is that possible? just kidding





I would put one of those plastic thin sheets around the cake (those kinds that they put on the cakes in the grocery stores so that they wont woble or fall over). Then I would put it in a good fit container that closes pretty good. (ask them to mail it back, the container of course). And put it in one of those foam coolers (they come in all sizes) but put a couple of frozen gel packs so that it stays cool (they sell them anywhere). Put that in a box after tapping the cooler shut, tape it (the box) and send it. Put fragil all over the box with a marker(although i doubt they pay attention to that, but who knows they might) and make sure that you call them and let them know that you are sending it so that they wait for it over in seattle. My mom did that with a cheese cake and it got over just fine but she forgot the ice gel packs and it came kinda hot. But they still ate it and it came out great.
Talk about tricky??? I would freeze the cake first. It will be more stable that way. Pack it tightly so that there is no movement and ship it overnight. It will cost a little extra but worth getting there in good condition.
